Chapter 245: The Destruction of the Soviet Pacific Fleet
In this Sino-Soviet border war with missiles and artillery and informationized PK mechanization, the navy and air force of the Chinese People's Liberation Army sang the last elegy for the huge ships and guns of the Soviet Pacific Red Navy Fleet, which the Russians were proud of.
The first C803 missile launched by the "Flying Leopard" fighter piloted by Xi Yang hit the power compartment of the Soviet cruiser Dimitri Pozhasky in the rear, and while destroying the power compartment, the missile fragments penetrated the steel armor of the partition between the power compartment and the fuel compartment of the cruiser Dimitripozhasky, igniting the explosion of the fuel stored in the fuel tank, and producing a secondary killing effect. In an instant, the cruiser Dimitri Pozasky became an erupting volcano, thousands of tons of diesel fuel continued to explode and burn, the flames were tens of meters high, and the billowing smoke went straight into the sky, hundreds of meters high.
Under the thick smoke and flames, there was not a single place on the entire deck that was not burning with raging fires. Although the cruiser Dimitri Pozhasky was docked at the edge of the military port, none of the hundreds of Soviet officers and men on board escaped the infinitely warm "floating iron coffin" floating between the ice.
The second C803 missile hit Alexander. Suvorov, a cruiser of the Sverdlov class that had just been refitted. Originally in Alexandria. On each side of the deck of the cruiser Suvorov was a Pat-53-68 Biss quintuple with 533-mm torpedo tubes. Launch of 53-51 type 533-mm direct-sailing torpedoes for anti-ship use with a range of 51 meters at a speed of 4000 knots. But these torpedoes were able to lag behind, and in May 1957, Alexander. The torpedo tubes on the cruiser Suvorov were removed and a large mine storage depot was built below the aft deck, so that up to 108 old M-1908 anchor trigger mines could be laid at a time during minelaying missions, as well as various mines developed by the Soviet Union after World War II.
But this time, unfortunately, before I had time to test the effect of minelaying, I became the biggest victim of these old M-1908 anchor-triggered mines. The second C803 missile launched by Lin Zhonghu hit the newly built torpedo storage tank impartially, and the high pressure generated by the violent explosion of the C803 missile immediately detonated the mine storage depot and triggered the mines, forming a group explosion, and from the stern of the bombed ship, the mines that had not yet exploded were continuously thrown around, and where the tentacles of the thrown mines hit, they caused new explosions, and the two destroyers adjacent to it became its biggest victims.
Smoke, fire, shrapnel, hoarse shouts, and shrill whistle sirens
The damage management alarm sounded urgently. In Alexandria. The deputy captain on duty on the cruiser Suvorov, Lieutenant Commander Seryoshagopisky, was not on board, so he had to take command of the ship's damage management and organize and implement damage management operations in order to limit the expansion of damage and concentrate on eliminating the damage Alexander. The cruiser Suvorov was safe, excluding the impact on Alexander. The maximum damage to the combat effectiveness of the cruiser Suvorov.
Rear Admiral Seryoshagopisky, the deputy commander of the ship, wearing only a pair of shorts and a blanket on his upper body, shouted loudly: "Vilenksrov! Vilenksrov! Where's your bitch? ”
"Fuck you, you're a bitch." Responsible for Alexander. Major Vilenksrov, who was specially damaged on the cruiser Suvorov, scolded in his heart, and at the same time ran over to report to the deputy captain: "Rear Admiral Seryoshagopisky, the mine storage tank behind the ship has exploded, and the stern has been completely damaged."
"You immediately and the chief mechanic will organize the personnel of the whole ship for me, and immediately carry out damage management. Enter the mine storage tank to eliminate this chain explosion, and isolate the other ammunition storage tanks from the fuel tank," Seryoshagodpisky ordered loudly, "to do a good job of anti-sinking, fire, and explosion-proof!" ”
"Major Chesuidrobav, the chief of the electromechanical department, has died. Just now he was killed while checking the damage to the ship," said Vilenksrov, feigning sadness.
"Then you immediately go and organize the full-time damage management team to prevent the further explosion of those JB mines!" Seryoshagopisky looked at the Alexander ship away from him. The cruiser Suvorov had the fire of the cruiser Mithripozalsky, which was 5 or 600 meters away, said: "And it is necessary to control the explosion of the fuel tank. Go for it! ”
"No more! Just now, more than 10 people from the first class of the damaged management team were blown up before they could enter the mine storage tank, and their bones were gone. Then Vlenkrov assessed: "Rear Admiral Seryoshagopisky, the ship is definitely hopeless. ”
Rear Admiral Seryoshagopisky viciously confronted Vilenksrov: "Do you mean to abandon the ship? ”
"Nope! Rear Admiral, abandon the ship or not, that's up to you. "I just did my duty to assess the damage." ”
Seryoshagopisky thought about the damage management regulations: if a small fire broke out on the ship, the damage management mobile team would extinguish it, and the damage management officer would assess whether it could be handled, and if they could not handle it, the commander's only option was to call all the personnel on duty. It is not feasible to concentrate efforts to eliminate the damage that endangers the safety of the ship and eliminate the damage that has the greatest impact on combat effectiveness, but allows sailors at important duty stations, such as those at the combat intelligence center or the bridge, to remain on duty and do not need to participate in damage management work
He took two steps in the direction of the stern, and through the smoke and fire, he realized that Vlenksrov's assessment was correct, and that the cruiser could not be saved.
Those on or running to the deck were constantly knocked down by flying shrapnel, and in the light of the explosion he saw that the deck was littered with dead and wounded officers and sailors.
"Abandon ship!" This is not the time to pretend to be b, Seryoshagopisky gave his final order.
Just as he gave the order and turned to leave, a palm-sized piece of M-1908 anchor-triggered mine shrapnel sliced crosswise through his neck on the right side, taking his head away from Alexander. The cruiser Suvorov spun around a few times on the ice more than 30 meters away, like a spinning top, and finally it looked at Alexander with its blank eyes open. The cruiser Suvorov is high on the side of the ship, looking for his parasitic body in a blanket, how can I leave me?
The icebreaker "Ural Mountain" started during the bombardment, and its short and stubby body struggled desperately in the ice in an attempt to break through the ice and launch a rescue operation against the ships of the Pacific Fleet frozen in the Golden Horn, so that they could rescue the warships frozen in the anchorage of the Golden Horn military port in the ice and fire.
The bow of the icebreaker "Ural Mountain" pressed the nearly 700 millimeters thick ice, continuously impacted the ice, and plowed a 20-meter-wide crack in the hard ice, opening up a channel for the powerful Soviet Pacific Fleet to evacuate from the ice area to the port area.
With a "boom", a C803 missile wedged into the left side of the thick bow deck of the "Ural Mountain" icebreaker that was sharpened forward and made of manganese steel, and the fierce explosion of the C803 missile caused a huge crack in the deck near the waterline on the left side of the bow of the "Ural Mountain" icebreaker, in which dazzling flames were constantly spewed out. Accompanied by fierce flames, the hull made a terrible sound of metal breaking, explosions and ignited fires, which seriously damaged the bow and stern of the icebreaker "Ural Mountain" and the structure reinforced with thick steel plates and dense skeletons in the waterline area, and destroyed the overall strength of the hull.
The hull is 92.38 meters long, 18 meters wide, 4134.48 tons of displacement, 4.67 meters average draft, 4.75 megawatts of maximum horsepower, 17.5 knots, endurance of 11,300 nautical miles, self-sustaining power of 30 days and nights, has just been in service for 6 years, and the icebreaker "Ural Mountain", which is responsible for the icebreaking task of the Soviet Pacific Fleet, has lost its icebreaking function. It was not until it became a military product of the Chinese Navy that it was restored to its function.
At the same time that the PLA Air Force was carrying out air strikes on the two Soviet Pacific naval bases of the Soviet Pacific Fleet, Vladivostok and Sovietport, the East China Sea Fleet of the Chinese Navy also launched an encirclement and suppression operation against the ships of the Soviet Pacific Fleet roaming in the East China Sea and the waters of the Yellow Sea and the Benhai Sea.
In the early morning of the 11th, after nearly 20 hours of lurking in the cold and deep waters on the edge of the 50-kilometer ocean basin south of Nakhodka, the sonar soldiers in the command cabin of China's "Dolphin" submarine numbered DQ101 reported to Captain Zheng Yonggang, who was sitting beside him, that "at a distance of 25,000 meters and an azimuth of 112.5 degrees, a Soviet submarine has been discovered." It was moving from south to north, and after checking the sound of its engine with a computer, it was determined that it was a Soviet Type 633 R-class medium torpedo attack conventional submarine. ”
Captain Zheng Yonggang carefully looked at the various reconnaissance and intelligence materials displayed on the computer screen of the "Dolphin" submarine's multifunctional combat command system. Then the order was given: "Torpedo ready".
The "Dolphin" submarine is equipped with a multi-functional combat command system, which once again shows its powerful capabilities, and the screen display, based on which the target data is quickly calculated, the launch parameters are quickly calculated, and then the automatic launch control is provided, and the tactical movement and weapon delivery methods are recommended.
One Y-A 533-mm heavy torpedo was quietly launched from the 533-mm torpedo tube on the bow of the "Dolphin" submarine, and with a snow-white bubble, it rushed towards the target like an arrow.
The main characteristics of the Y-A 533 mm heavy torpedo are its large diameter and long mine body, and compared with the light torpedo, its mine head charge is larger, and it is extremely destructive to large-tonnage surface ships above the destroyer, especially the aircraft carrier. Because its engine can carry more fuel, it has a longer range and can travel longer on its own power. Used in anti-submarine warfare is definitely a thunder deadly.
A fleet of three submarines, two destroyers, two frigates, and one supply ship was on combat patrol duty in the waters of the East China Sea. The returning Soviet fleet sailed from the Yellow Sea of China along the Korean-controlled Korean Strait into the Honhai Sea with great difficulty.
The two Soviet destroyers were one in front of the other, and one frigate on the left and right, sandwiching the supply ship in the middle, staring around the sea with a tiger's eye. Under the sea, three Type 633 R-class medium torpedoes of the Soviet Union attacked conventional diesel-electric submarines, advancing in a "pin" shape 10 nautical miles from the front, left, and right of the surface ships.
The Soviet No. 551, which sails on the word "product" and "mouth", is the latest Type 633 medium torpedo attack conventional submarine that had just entered service with the Soviet Navy in October 1957.
The captain of the boat, Lieutenant Commander Nikobzav, before he became the captain of the Project 551 submarine. With six years of experience commanding small ships and more than two years commanding destroyers, he was awarded the Order of the Red Banner just before going to sea for combat patrol duty, and he is an experienced naval commander.
At this time, Lieutenant Colonel Nikobzakov was lying in the officer's cabin in the first battery compartment, and he, like many tall crew members, had to sleep with his legs curled up, and had been cruising at sea for more than a month, and at last he could not bear the narrow and short bed that could not stretch his legs at all. He greeted the female relatives of the submarine designers countless times in his heart, and hung his old mother's body without such torture.
Fortunately, this combat cruise duty in the waters of the East China Sea is about to be completed, and he will soon return to Hong Kong, and he can finally go ashore and stretch his legs to sleep. He decided that when he returned this time, he would definitely study it with the engineers, and expanded the area of the captain's cabin and lengthened the length of the bed by another 200 mm.
"Torpedo! Torpedo spotted! The reconnaissance sonar in the command module of compartment 3, which was located behind the officer's cabin in the first battery compartment, shouted in horror.
Lieutenant Colonel Nikobzav, who rolled out of the little short bed that he hated so much, didn't even have time to put on his shoes, slammed the door of the second compartment hard, and ran to the adjacent command cabin.
"What's wrong?" Lieutenant Colonel Nikobzav asked loudly.
"Torpedo! 11 o'clock direction! is moving rapidly towards our ship at a speed of 40 knots. The reconnaissance sonar officer said in horror.
Lieutenant Colonel Nikobzakov snatched the headset of the integrated sonar officer and listened to it, and gave a loud order: "Urgently float, prepare for damage management" and then sounded the battle alarm, and the Soviet officers and men resting on the ship were suddenly awakened by the rapid sound of the battle siren, jumped up, and ran to their combat posts without even having time to put on any clothes.
It's late! All in vain.
The Y-A 533-mm heavy torpedo at a speed of 40 knots, under the guidance of the DQ101 Chinese submarine "Dolphin", went straight to the Soviet conventional submarine Project 551.
